Muggle Studies 5-7 • Movie and Video game buff • Awkward

[justify]Jonathon was in the process of editing his seventh year's curriculum to make it more relevant and some of the lessons less unusual. There were a few things he was uncertain of while ensuring the changes were underway and it had begun to stress him out. Though he was glad when it was time for his seventh year class that week as he could focus on teaching the parts of the course he had decided on and most importantly he could interact with the students which although was also stressful, was his favourite part of teaching.

As the students arrived Jon looked arund the room, smiling. "Good afternoon! I can see you're all dressed appropriately in muggle clothing, which brings me to the subject of today's lesson." After a moment-long pause he continued. "Muggle fashion. Where do I begin? Well, the word fashion is defined as 'a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair, decoration, or behavior'. Which I guess explains part of what I'm going to talk about today." Jon was very much at a loss for words because he was never particularly interested in fashion. He continued to speak anyway, keeping his lesson notes in mind. "Muggles follow fashion trends just like magical folk do, and just like in the magical world, in the muggle world we also see a resurgence of trends every few years. Muggle skinny jeans are an example of a re-surging muggle fashion trend. Do you understand what I mean?" He queried the class in case any of the students needed an extra explanation to help them wrap their head around it all.

"Now that the introductions are over we can get to the fun part! Here on my desk is a pile of fashion magazines I've collected." He stepped to one side to reveal the portkey and a stack of magazines he had accumulated over the week that he hoped would give the students a deeper insight to the muggle world of fashion. "For today's trip, we're going to a muggle clothing store. I would like each of you to pair up and pick a magazine that appeals to your sense of fashion, so you can use it as a guide." He hoped giving the students an opportunity to express their personal style would make the lesson seem a little more interesting and a lot less tedious. "When we get there, you're going to use your magazine to find an item of clothing or an accessory that is considered to be a current trend. You'll have a budget of fifty New Zealand dollars for this. Now, everyone gather around and hold on tight!" He stepped around his desk so the class could huddle around the port key before they were all whisked out of the classroom and to an alleyway in the heart of Wellington's shopping district.

Jonathon followed behind the group of students as they trekked into nearby clothing stores and boutiques, remaining in close proximity so he could assist the class if they needed it. After half an hour of trend spotting, window-shopping and experiencing the muggle world the class returned to the castle safely where Jon wrapped up the lesson and allowed them to leave with their newly purchased clothing in tow.

Roleplay the lesson!

former ravenclaw | french | wizarding examinations authority | link ♡

Isabelle rather enjoyed her first week back at Hogwarts, despite how much she was missing Link. He was busy now even thought he didn't have to go to school anymore and so the amount of letters they were sending each other compared to last year had decreased. Fortunately, Isabelle knew that he was thinking of her and it made the girl smile whenever she thought about him too. After a satisfying meal in the Great Hall Isabelle headed to her common room to collect everything she needed for that day and headed to her first class.

Dressed in her muggle clothing, Isabelle walked into the Muggle Studies classroom and took her usual seat as she waited for the lesson to begin. Fashion was quite interesting but Isabelle didn't like the idea of having to go shopping every lesson. Nonetheless, the Ravenclaw chose a vintage magazine and, when they had made it to the muggle shops, Isabelle began walking around trying to find a pair of overalls that one of the ladies were wearing in the magazine. Unfortunately, despite how many overalls were in each shop, Isabelle could not find the exact one that she wanted and instead ended up having to get overalls in black denim instead of blue as it was the closest she could find. When the lesson ended, Isabelle gave the professor back the little amount of change she had and headed out of the classroom.
